Ideally, you need a laptop that is reliable, fast, and portable, enabling you to work from anywhere. To get a bit technical, the features to pay great attention to when selecting a laptop for blogging include:
- RAM amount: A minimum of 4 GB of RAM is considered good enough to run basic tasks without noticeably slowing up your system. 8 GB and over is considered better, especially if you are going to be streaming, using memory-intensive apps such as Photoshop, playing games, or having multiple browser tabs running at the same time. Alternatively, you can choose to get a laptop that gives you the option to upgrade the RAM later on if necessary.
- Hard drive/SSD size: Most laptops these days come with a minimum of 128 GB of storage (ROM) space. This is fine if you won’t be storing many large files on the machine. However, if you plan to work with graphical content such as images or videos, you will likely need a laptop with more storage. On the other hand, you can also get an external hard drive or equivalent cloud storage option to store your stuff.
